Arsenal kick off pre-season proper this weekend, and with the WSL creeping ever closer, Lucy and Rory sit down to try to piece together what our starting XI might look like.

What areas are we still short? Where do we need experience? And how do we ensure that Alessia Russo doesn’t end up playing as a 10 AGAIN?

The start of the season is just days away and so we're here to answer the big questions. Which Arsenal player is most likely to bite someone? What would we rob from the merch shop? And will Mikel Arteta appear on a questionable self-improvement podcast?

Laura, Jim and Lucy are here to settle those debates and many more. Plus, further reaction to the Community Shield!

If anyone’s yet to get excited about the new season, Luke and Rory have got you covered - because they're on the pod straight after Arsenal win another trophy!

The vibes were bumping after twenty-odd seconds when Riccardo Calafiori finished off a lovely move and the boys never looked back. Join us as we recap a great win that had it all: another impressive Christos Tzolis performance, flashes of the brilliant Martin Ødegaard of old and an interesting glimpse into how the midfield might fit together once everyone gets up and running.

The Community Shield is here! Whether Arsenal are ready is another question...

Luke, Jonny and Jim look back on our pre-season and who will likely start against Man City in a game that still feels one week too soon. We also discuss Marli Salmon – how much can he truly been used? – and Jim argues why a defender in this transfer window is actually more important than a left-winger. Has he been Arteta brainwashed?

We also have a much-needed conversation about player sales in light of the Myles Lewis-Skelly reports this week. Why was this even being considered? Was this even being considered? And when will Arsenal make some proper money on a player sale?!

The fixtures are out and the countdown to the return of the WSL is on! Laura and Rory are here to look ahead to a brutal start to the season for Arsenal. Could the first five weeks make or break the Renéeissance?

Elsewhere, after a busy start, it’s all quiet on the transfer front, but what business do we still need to do? Plus, what could this season look like for Katie Reid and Michelle Agyemang?
